Question 1 Report

A binary operation \( \Delta \) is defined is defined by \( a \Delta b = a + b + 1 \) for any real numbers a and b. Find the inverse of the real number 7 under the operation \( \Delta \), if the identify element is -1

Answer Details
a  Δ  b = a + b + 1
a  Δ  a-1 = e
7  Δ  7-1 = 7 + 7-1
therefore 7-1 = -1 - 8
= -9
the inverse of 7 under the operation  Δ  is -9
